Manning the flight controls, you guide the aircraft into hostile airspace over your predestined target. You pull the trigger and launch an explosive projectile into a building housing suspected terrorist affiliates, annihilating it into a pile of rubble. Seconds later, your vehicle is struck by an anti-aircraft missile and crashes violently into the ground. You get up and leisurely stroll away from the scene without a single scratch. The entire time, you were staring at a computer screen while…

By the time they were old enough to start their profession, they have no choice but to work day and night to pay off the mounting debt for the…
